1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That the
board of supervisors, or other governing body, of any county adjoining
a city in this State having a population of more than one hundred and
eighty thousand inhabitants, according to the last preceding United
States census, may, by ordinance adopted by a majority of the members
of such board, or governing body, by a recorded yea and nay vote,
establish a system of pensions or group insurance, or both, for injured,
retired and superannuated officers and employees of such county, other

of the county, or by requiring contributions to be made from time to

other method not prohibited by law,
